EDITORS COMMENTS
Hercules Kicking Faunus out of Omphale's Bed," a captivating oil on canvas painting by the Dutch artist Abraham Bloemaert, dates back to the 17th century. This masterpiece, now housed in Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark, is a vivid representation of a scene from Greek mythology. The painting depicts Hercules, the legendary Greek hero, standing boldly in the center, his powerful legs apart, ready to kick Faunus, the mischievous woodland deity, out of Omphale's bed. Hercules wears a determined expression on his face, while Faunus, caught in the act, lies naked and surprised, with a look of shock and embarrassment. Omphale, the queen of Lydia, lies reclining on the bed, seemingly oblivious to the commotion. Hercules, having been enslaved by Omphale as a punishment for killing her cattle, was forced to wear women's clothes and live as her servant for a year. However, when he discovered Faunus in her bed, his warrior instincts took over, and he could not let the infidelity go unpunished. The painting is a prime example of Mannerist art, with its elongated figures, dramatic poses, and vibrant colors. The use of oil paint allows for a rich and textured depiction of the scene, adding to the overall allure and intrigue of this work of art. This painting is a testament to the enduring power of Greek mythology and the human fascination with the stories and characters that have shaped our cultural heritage. It invites us to explore themes of power, desire, and the complexities of human relationships, making it a must-see for anyone interested in art, mythology, or the history of the Low Countries.
